DIEHARD™ Transplant "naturalizes" trees and shrubs and ground with beneficial organisms that all plants have evolved with but generally are void of when produced in a commercial nursery.  Nursery grown plants are manipulated in every way the nurserymen has at his/her disposal to produce plants in the fastest, most efficient, way.  The result is that the plants, although looking great, and meeting the buyers specifications (i.e., right size, looking great, etc.), are very fragile because they are missing many of the natural systems that they will need when planted in the landscape. 

DIEHARD™ Transplant is formulated as a tree and shrub transplant backfill amendment to inoculate landscape plants when planted with live beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, which nursery plants generally do not have,  and nearly one hundred other ingredients to "complete" the plant and the ground in which the transplant is planted.   This results in quick root establishment and less transplant shock and stressed plants.   It contains highly selected endomycorrhizal fungi and ectomycorrhizal fungi that will quickly colonize the roots of new transplants to provide the best possible conditions for the roots to become as effective as possible during the establishment period and beyond.   Both endo and ectomycorrhizal inoculants are combined with humic acids, Trichoderma, stimulants, beneficial bacteria, soluble sea kelp, yucca plant extracts, to promote rapid root development.   Included in the formulation is a water management gel to reduce transplant shock and stress and watering maintenance, and to slow release all soluble components.  The results are better survival and growth rates and less watering for all tree and shrub transplants. 

We are privileged to have as business partners commercial landscape contractors that use this product on every tree and shrub that they plant regardless of if it is specified and required by the landscape architect.  This is very convincing evidence that the product provides exceptional value to the commercial professional  that understands a lush, quickly established landscape, requiring less maintenance and attention is cost effective for business and a special pleasure to offer his/her customers.   Long time customers realize that using this valuable tool when transplant trees and shrubs is the lowest cost way to do their job.  Everything is relative - if you can spend $5-$10 to get a $300-$500 tree to take off like there's no tomorrow - the only cost is the cost of not using the product.  And that can be EXPENSIVE.

For convenience, consistency, and to reduce waste, DIEHARD™ Transplant is packaged in pre-measured 8 oz. labeled bags and is also available in bulk.

Don't be fooled by the numerous "me too" products that are following our lead in the market.  These products could be good if the ingredients were put into them but their not.  The "me too's" are around because we've created a market (based on quality) and they want their piece of the business.  Their price is lower (to buy the business) but the products are weak (one product out there has less "value" ingredients in a 50 pound bag than is in our 8 ounce DIEHARD™  Transplant bag).  So like a lot things that you can buy the cheapest turns out to be the most expensive because it really doesn't do anything!!

Our Repeat Business is Over 80 PERCENT!! (Tuesday, October 13, 2009)
Reviewer: Darrell Turner, Turner Tree & Landscape, Bradenton, Florida

We have been using DIEHARD™ products with unmatched success for over a decade in both our landscape business and our tree production operation. Our transplant losses are less than 1% but more importantly, 80% of our business is REPEAT business because of the quality and lushness of landscapes we produce. In the tough times our industry is presently experiencing we are constantly looking for ways to reduce costs, but we do not consider DIEHARD a cost, but instead we recognize how vital these products have been in fostering the highest standards and quality that has made our business a success. So long as we are planting, we will be using DIEHARD. Mr. Darrell Turner, Turner Tree & Landscape, “The Professionals”.

Lessons Learned (Friday, August 31, 2007)
Reviewer: Kit Bock - Big Tree, Inc., Lee County, Florida, USA

We are commercial Landscape contractors. The spring of 2006 we were starting to install the second phase of a housing community. Specifically, building the landscape and irrigation infrastructure for the community surrounding the houses. Along the main spine road which runs through middle of the project we were to plant a vegetative buffer for the multi family buildings. This included relocating some 30'-35' Oak trees from phase 3 to this buffer. The relocation went fine. No, we did not use Diehard! Following the transplanting, irrigation bubblers were added to meet the individual watering requirements of these oaks. The trees flushed out with new foliage. They looked great, everyone was please. They would provide a great buffer in the years to come! Well not really. A week or so later, the largest of the trees, in the middle of the buffer, was brown. Following some quick investigation and dealing with instant displeasure from our client we discovered the problem. As commonly occurs with construction sites, the water supply had been shut off. A few days earlier, a contractor had hit the irrigation mainline, shut off the water, made the repair and forgot to turn it back on. This was not good. After years of transplanting oaks I knew that if the tree flushed in the spring and then lost its leaves for what ever reason it was done. Especially, in this case. This was a transplant. Not a container grown tree that had not lost a good portion of its original root system in the root pruning over that past six months. I told my client and my landscape manager to remove the tree to the trash pile. I would come up with five or seven tall palms to replace the canopy and in a year the buffer would be reasonable again. My client agreed with my assessment as there were not any trees left on the site to relocate. I left the site in my landscape managers’ hands. A week later at our weekly meeting I inquired about the replacements. My landscape manager informed me that they would not be needed. I was annoyed with his response, when he informed me that he had excavated around the tree and added diehard and increased the watering regiment. I told him that this was a wasted effort and weeks would pass with a dead tree in the middle of the site. This is not the best advertising! He insisted on giving it a chance. Three weeks later the tree flushed for a second time. Late spring 2007. I saw The tree last week, it is thriving. This is the only time I have seen a tree so far gone come so far back from brown dehydrated limbs to thriving. A couple of changes have taken place as a result. We employ the use of Diehard for many things now in our landscape and transplanting efforts and I don't question my Landscape manager’s judgment.

Increased our clients satisfaction, eliminated die-back and reduced fertilizer requirements. (Monday, August 06, 2007)
Reviewer: Greg Boucher, Down To Earth Landscaping, Jacksonville, Florida,

Our firm Down To Earth has been using your products for over two years. We being a large commercial contractor install mainly 4" and larger trees. Your products have increased our clients satisfaction, eliminated die-back and reduced fertilizer requirements. We have experienced superior growth, root development and nutrient uptake. Your products while not cheap do pay for themselves in terms of client confidence. Long term benefits have not been realized, but I expect we will win more bids due to our quality of installations.

PLANT-TRANS-PLANT landscape service (Monday, July 30, 2007)
Reviewer: Bill Trapp, Sussex, WI, USA

After using DIEHARD Transplant for over a year I wondered if its really working. We don't have many plants die and if one does die its usually because the customer did'nt follow through with the recommended after care. In December 2006 I planted 32 White Spruce to line a horse coral and I decided not to use DIEHARD on one tree. I marked that tree with a wire flag. In July 2007 I got a call from the customer saying one of the trees has died. When I went to remove the dead tree I found the wire flag and remembered what I did the fall before. All the other trees looked good and I made sure the replacement was treated with DIEHARD.

Great Product & Company (Sunday, June 17, 2007)
Reviewer: Dan Shulman, , USA

As a Landscape Architect and business owner the above product has been a vital part of our success with planting trees. We use Diehard transplant with every tree that we install and it has improved the survivabliity of our projects. We will continue to use this companies product and would, without reservation, recommend to other companies to do so as well.

Great product (Wednesday, May 23, 2007)
Reviewer: Toms Creek Landscaping, Farmer, NC, United States

We move trees and shrubs from 3gal balls all the way to using our 90" tree spade. Die hard has become a must for all B&B applications. We have a stellar survival rate and can really see the difference in root growth. On one project where 2 12" caliper willow oaks were moved and unfortunately died due to the client's lack of desire to water we upon replacement noticed the HUGE volume of root growth after just 8 months in the ground. It was defiantly due to diehard.

We Will Not Plant Without It From Here On Out!! (Wednesday, May 09, 2007)
Reviewer: Clayton, Burton, Clearwater, Florida

We purchased a 50 unit case of DIEHARD Transplant for use with trees plantings around a new office building. We planted 54 trees but only treated 50. We lost all four trees that were not treated with DIEHARD Transplant and only one that was. This has been the driest year on record here with year-to-date rainfall only 33% of normal as of May 31. I'm very pleased and impressed with your product and will not plant trees without it from here on out!!. Mr. Clayton Burton, AMT, Inc., Clearwater, FL.

Great Product - Thank You (Thursday, December 29, 2005)
Reviewer: Gulf Breeze Landscaping, Inc., Venice, Florida, USA

About a year ago we used this product while replacing some remote roadside transplant losses for the county. I've been doing this type of work for a long time. In these conditions I expect losses. Recently I took the time to go back and see if there were any differences. To my delight nearly all of the trees that we replanted along county roads were not only alive but were actually established and thriving. I've been doing this type of work for a long time. In these conditions I expect losses. From that moment on we do not plant anything without DIEHARD Transplant. Thank You. Pat Sullivan President

Lets Me Plant Trees and Walk Away (Thursday, November 10, 2005)

We've used your product now for over a year. I've been in the business for over 15 years and have never been able to plant trees and walk away the way I can using DIEHARD Transplant. We simply do not lose trees anymore. MJM Design Group Odessa, Florida

NO LOSSES (Thursday, July 01, 2004)
Reviewer: Greg Fernandez, City of Santa Ana, CA, USA

Before we started using Diehard Transplant we were loosing about 30% of our street tree plantings. Since we started using this product we haven’t lost a single tree. Thank you.
